vRealize Hyperic Server Properties

<

The configuration settings that vRealize Hyperic server requires to start up are included in the hq-server.conf file. For example, hq-server.conf has properties that tell the server how to connect to the database and where to listen for agent and web application communications.

When you install vRealize Hyperic server, the selections you make, such as port selections, use of plain text, or SSL communications, correspond to properties in the hq-server.conf file. The configuration settings that you supply during installation are saved in ServerHome/conf/hq-server.conf.

In addition to the properties that reflect installation choices, hq-server.conf contains properties with default values that you can modify after installation, based on the your environment and the size of your vRealize Hyperic deployment. For example, there are properties that set defaults for database and JMS configuration options.

Every time vRealize Hyperic server starts, it reads the values of the properties in hq-server.conf.

The vRealize Hyperic server supports some properties that do not appear in hq-server.conf unless you add them explicitly.

After you change values of properties in hq-server.conf or add new properties to the file, you must restart the server for the new settings to take effect

Configuration Settings in the Database

Some of the configuration data that governs the vRealize Hyperic server behavior is stored in the vRealize Hyperic server database. For example, the data that the vRealize Hyperic server needs to contact a vRealize Hyperic agent is stored in the vRealize Hyperic database.

This property controls whether or a warning is issued when a vRealize Hyperic agent presents an SSL certificate that is not in the server's keystore and is either self-signed or signed by a different certificate authority than the one that signed the server's SSL certificate.

The IP or hostname of the SMTP server that the vRealize Hyperic server will use for sending alerts and other vRealize Hyperic-related emails. Most UNIX platforms have a local SMTP server, in which case localhost or 127.0.0.1 can be used here.
